The continual introduction of new electronics-based features in cars, including various Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), has led to a proliferation of communications protocols that offer different combinations of speed, cost, and flexibility. Now,STMicroelectronics has introduced two new devices that combine superior protection of CAN (Controller Area Network) bus lines against electrostatic discharges and other transients and market-unique compliance with all key automotive interfaces.
The ESDCAN02-2BWY and ESDCAN03-2BWY are automotive-grade dual-line Transil™ devices that leverage ST’s long-term leadership in transient protection devices and its deep understanding of the automotive market. The unique combination of parameters, including an ultra-low capacitance of 3.5pF and 24V minimum stand-off voltage, has produced the world’s first CAN protection devices to comply with all major interfaces, including CAN-FD, LIN, FlexRay, MOST, and SENT.
Housed in an ultra-compact SOT323-3L package, the new devices are available in volume at a price of US$0.078 in quantities of 100 units.
